Question #100511

Heat can be removed from water at 0C and atmospheric pressure without causing the water to freeze, if done with little disturbance of the water. Suppose the water is cooled to –5C before ice began to form. What is the change in entropy per unit mass occurring during the sudden freezing that then takes place?

Expert's answer

ΔS=CplnT2T1\Delta S =C_p \ln{\frac{T_2}{T_1}}

ΔS=4200ln2735273=77.6JkgK\Delta S =4200 \ln{\frac{273-5}{273}}=-77.6\frac{J}{kgK}
